Gone Crazy.

"Mom!" " I yelled in a strangled way.

" Sakura! What happened! Let me in !" he was still going at the door. " Go away Li!" I said as I tried again to pry of mom's arms. My strength was not fully returned yet after my slight faint " mom! I can't breathe..." she shook her head violently tightening her grip.

I choked on what little air was left.

Then she screamed. Again and again. " Where are they? Let go of them! What did you do to them!"

She wailed again" What did you do to them!"

I struggled harder. My brain starting to go fuzzy with the lack of oxygen. Suddenly , she fell to the ground and I pitched forward only succeeding in righting myself by leaning against the wall. I sucked in lungs full of air regaining my strength. I looked at mom and saw her gasping in horror.

" My son. My husband. My daughter. My husband". She stared at the wall mumbling, I reached out.

"Mom..."

"My son. My husband. Oh! My daughter!" She was shrieking horribly like a banshee. I wanted to calm her down but without warning she lunged at me, a look of utmost fury and pain, her hands ready to yet again strangle me.

" Sakura!" yells were still coming through the door. I caught her hands in mine and tried in vain to pin her to the floor. She had grown so much stronger with the adrenaline.

With a sudden bang the door slammed open and a wild looking Li burst in searching frantically with his eyes the danger in the room.

" Come help me pin her down Li! Quickly!" I grunted. He came and took her by the arms.

Mom gave him a wild look, tears streaming and shouted" Get away from them! My babies! My husband! Get away from them!" then she tried to get her hands around his neck but she was no match for him.

He pulled her from me and lowered her down onto the floor wailing and crying. Twisting away from his grasp but not succeeding. Once her hands were off me I rushed to her room, grabbed the meds from the drawer and ran back to the living room.

Quickly, I pull open the cover of the box of meds, took off the cap of one of the needles and ran it into her vein pumping stabilizer into her blood stream. She gradually calmed down. As her gaze turn hallow and blank and her strength waned. Her head lolled to a side and she did not move. I took a deep breath of relief and sank back onto the floo,r looking at mom dearly.

Pushing back a strand of her hair I lifted my eyes to meet his and I knew I had a lot of explaining to do.

So I waited for him to ask.

" Who is she? " he whispered a look of anguish in his eyes, his face dark. I think he knew but I said so anyway.

" My mother."

His pained look turned darker and he cursed. " Why? H-how?" he cried hoarsely, a grip of steel on my wrist.

I looked down, my mother's words still ringing high and clear ' my babies! My husband! '

I felt exhausted, I wondered if I could tell him.

" It was something that happened years ago." That was all I could get put for now and I knew he knew, but he surprised me then, by pulling me into his arms. He took a few deep breathes to calm down.

" I'm sorry. You can tell me when you're ready, but for now," his voice soft and warm by my ear." Just let it out. It's ok. I'll be here for you." I wondered how did I come to be in the arms of the most desired male in Tokyo U. To actually have him care for me, the lowest ranker.

So I cried.

Because I was not fit to be in a fairytale.

Because he was not the prince and I was not the princess.

Because he cared.

Because it had been so long since someone cared and because I could never ever fall for him.

No matter if I wanted to or not.

I cried in his arms for some time before quieting down to a few sniffs.

After that I apologised for ruining his shirt but he shrugged it off. " So what are you going to do now?" he asked concern etched in his face. I look at mom and sighed.

" I'll put her in bed later. She'll be better in the morning."

" Why don't you send her to a mental capacity?"

I scoffed "And what? Pay my ass off? I'm not capable of that. The least I can do is to provide her a shelter and bring her on regular checkups. It's all I can do." Biting my lower lip, I crouched down and hoisted up my already asleep mother staggering a bit when Li came and help me. " Thank you" I said gruffly not really used to it.

" No probs." he gave a grim twitch of his lips.

We tucked her in comfortably and I walked Li out to the door. He gave me a brief hug which kind of surprised me, then he said " I'll come again sometime."

I frowned." there's no need to. I'm fine by myself." His face grew fierce " how are you fine when you were nearly strangled to death by your own mother?" his hands balled into fists beside him. I could see that he was fighting hard for control.

" You really should not care about me." I whispered.

" What did you say?" his eyebrows smashed together, momentarily confused. I shook myself saying clearly" I'm fine. I was just weak after that little faint today. Usually I would have been able to subdue her better." He still looked utterly unconvinced.

" Seriously. Now goodbye and goodnight." I turned to shut the door when he said" I'll still come over sometime and remember to take your pills." I nodded before closing the door.

Tiredly, I clambered onto my bed and fell fast asleep.


May I ask for a review? ^^ XD
